Thanks Dale. The reason I knew of the song is...my late Father was a pioneer in our part of Va, in early country/western music radio. He was a multi-talented individual, very musical. It was an attribute several in his family shared. He played about 6-8 different instruments, by ear, and very well. Had won contests with fiddle and guitar. He was also a good singer. Dad used to sing that beautiful song..."Dreamy Georgiana Moom". I always loved it, even as a child. Had some unexpected circumstances not intervened in a tragic way in the mid forties...no doubt he would have gone to Nashville, and I have no doubt could have hit it big there. There is a mini bio, and pics of my Father in the archives in Ferrum, Va about my Dad, where they keep records of Va's music history...and in several museums too. He passed away at 89 years old, in 2001. He had a cousin who did do well in Nashville as a bass guitar player...played for many big names, such as George Jones, Billy Walker, and others. Also played with the Grand Ole Opry house band for about 8 years. However died fairly young in the late '80's from a second heart attack. They both played a lot of good music in their time. Thanks for the reply.
